Re: using chere
I had a similar problem with chere and xterm.
Chere edits your Windows registry file. It added this to my registry:
C:\cygwin\bin\run.exe C:\cygwin\bin\xterm.exe -e /bin/xhere
/bin/bash.exe "%L"
This sits in the registry at
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT/Directory/shell/cygwin_bash/command
I added -display 127.0.0.1:0.0 to the command line:
C:\cygwin\bin\run.exe C:\cygwin\bin\xterm.exe -display 127.0.0.1:0.0 -e
/bin/xhere /bin/bash.exe "%L"
and it works fine for me now.
Since we are on the topic - is there a way to do something similar
inside an open windows folder rather than from the folder icon? I would
find that much more convenient.

OK, one last thing, sorry. I did something wrong
with the last test. If
I add c:\cygwin\bin and c:\cygwin\usr\X11R6\bin to
the Windows PATH
variable, then chere does work to open up an
xterm!
So I guess the only question is: is there any way
to avoid this
requirement? It would be helpful for me if I
didn't have to add these to
the path. I'm not sure how chere is implemented,
but could it just set
these variables before calling the xterm? Thanks
again.
I do not remenber exactly how I solved the issue,
but it is was related to advise xterm/rxvt where the
bash shell is; as cygwin %PATH is loaded by bash
and rxvt is loaded before.
what "chere -r" says ?
for me is:
OS is CYGWIN_NT-5.1
chere version 0.7
run.exe is available at C:\cygwin\bin\run.exe
<CUT>
--- bash keys ---
Directory menu item (all users)
&Bash Prompt Here
Directory command (all users)
C:\cygwin\bin\run.exe C:\cygwin\bin\rxvt.exe
-fg white -bg black -e /bin/xhere /bin/bash.exe "%L"
